Dreaming of Dusk

Elizabeth Alker presents music that evokes the magical transition between light and dark at the end of the day.

Elizabeth Alker presents music that evokes the magical transition between light and dark at the end of the day. Atmospheric saxophone drones, swooping electronics reminiscent of bird calls, and gamelan rhythms arouse images of long autumn shadows, in a piece created by the community at the Total Refreshment Centre. We also draw on the reflective nature of dusk light with the American RnB vocalist Jhelisa, who turns her hand to spiritual music with a soul-opening opus of radiating frequencies called Solar Plexus E. 320 Hz. And the artist known as Aboutface melds seasonal field recordings with instrumental and electronic sounds to remind us of our connection to nature.
